Well, apparently the first two hours of the drive or so I get to listen to a video deposition. So that will be fun. It's of a computer IT chief for a major retailer. You know, something I have vast (no) experience with, and understand completely (not at all). The invigorating ins and outs of a computer POS terminal and related issues are sure to keep me on my toes and wide awake.
Wow, even for someone who knows a decent amount about IT, that sounds excruciating.Quote:

You might need something stronger than coffee to recover from that torture.Quote:

Man, I don't know how you do it. I drive less than 4 hours one way, have a 3 hour meeting, drive back and I am beyond tired.
Man it's cold, already hate this weather.
Rented a Kia Optima from Hertz for my Mobile round trip. Got 34 mpg, Sirius radio, their Never lost GPS.
Paid $1.62. Love their rewards.
Galt House Christmas....
Nuff said.

For those of you who never lived in KY or moved away when you were young, here is a taste of early winter weather in KY..............
This week alone
Thursday Hi 28 Low 16
Friday Hi 51 Low 18
Saturday Hi 67 Low forecast to be 26 with freezing rain and sleet over night 1/2 inch of ice and sleet accumulation
Sunday forecast Hi 30 Low 14
18 degrees this morning then 67 degrees to freezing rain and sleet low of 14. Doncha just love it?
B b brrrr. 14 degrees this morning. At least I got to take our new east end bridge this morning. Cut my 25 miles each way commute to about 11 AND I don't have to go downtown anymore :) Of course I'll likely not live long enough to see the end of the tolling :/
My dear departed Mamaw would say it's the kind of weather where we'll all catch pneumonia. A real optimist, my Mamaw. :DQuote:

Made some rolls from scratch last night. Anyone have a good southern buttermilk biscuit recipe? I can't seem to find a good traditional one.

Please watch the video.
Hope this works for you
My grandma's recipe was the one I used for years, and it used lard instead of butter. They were flaky biscuits but they never rose high as the lard was never really cold when mixed with the flour. That recipe called for White Lilly all purpose flour always White Lilly, and added salt, baking powder and baking soda.
When I tried the recipe and technique in the video, I gave up on Grandma's recipe and have not looked back. Sorry Grandma
Doubling the recipe works just fine as long as you complete the process before the dough warms up before cutting and baking. I can not stress that enough as having a super cold dough when you begin rolling and folding is critical to fluffy and tender biscuits. You can place them 1/2 inch or so apart when backing if you like the biscuit to be browned on the sides, but they will not rise as high in the end
Thanks Dan, I plan to try this over the holiday break!Quote:

Thanks! I followed this recipe: http://www.curiousnut.com/hokkaido-milk-rolls/. With my only changes being that I used instant yeast, so I skipped the activation step, just adding those ingredients directly to the dry goods and I scaled it up 1.25 to fit my larger pan.Quote:

Ditto. Have a cold, drainage and coughing didn't let me sleep.
Better now, looking at the next four days off from work..

4 days off work would be nice. At least I'm off today and tomorrow - some of my co-workers aren't so I need to appreciate my luck.
Christmas Eve haircut!
No, not for me, smart alecks. With my son. But it would be nice if they would pretend not to know who was here for the haircut!
Few people would be that gifted at lying. :)Quote:

Day 8 of this cold. It's just mildly nagging now, congestion kinda stuff, but wish it would go away completely.
Sounds like one of the two things making rounds. I've been lucky and haven't caught either.Quote:

Just had breakfast. Toasted sourdough with cream cheese, topped with fresh caught smoked salmon. mmmm mmm good!
My son and his pretty little wife are flying into SF tomorrow morning for a few days from Idaho. Taking them to breakfast at the Millbrae Pancake House, a place that refuses to update its decor from the 70s, but serves great food. Then spending the day in the city at the California Academy of Sciences. Excited to see them and relax before a BIG New Years Eve wedding I'm booked to photograph in Sausalito (the actual "dock on the bay" in the beautiful Otis Redding song). In the middle of all this, probably tonight actually, I'm releasing/blogging about Amy, the heroin addicted prostitute I've been following for the past year.
Then in 2 weeks the 24 yr old redheaded stepchild has decided it's time to grow up, after graduating with his AA degree in 5 years of college. :rockon: He is moving to Washington State to venture into the world on his own. :fam24:
Today it's just sorta annoying drainage, not really congested. So on its way out. But day 9, and I wouldn't say I'm over it yet. Maybe another day or two.Quote:

Day 11 of my cold...just annoying mucus, otherwise it's over. But remnants remain. (I know everyone was waiting on that update).
Well, just received a Jury Duty notice in the mail.
Will be my fourth time now, geez.
:sAng_banghead2:
Hang'em
It doesn't work.
One time during the voir dire I told them I not only believed in the death penalty but I thought we ought to have electric sofas to speed the process up and to lessen overpopulation I would say expanding the scope to traffic violations as well.
Just kidding, but I sat on a murder trial a few years ago and I got to say it still bothers me to this day. Both the victim and the murderer are/were the age of my own son.
Senseless and devastating...
Anyone get an ugly Christmas sweater as a gift this year?
